A depiction of a facial featuring a black man ejaculating onto a white woman prompted criticism, with some users claiming that the image was racist and promoted violence against women.[2]

In which way was this movie anything even resembling a comedy? I saw it as drama all the way. If there was supposed be comedy in it, it was lost on me. Xavius, the Satyr Lord (talk) 12:03, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Should I remove it? I too didn't see any humor in this movie. In my eyes, it was drama to the max, which led me not wanting to watch it.--Shadow6Wolf66 (talk) 10:47, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

It definitely has more dramatic elements compared to Jim Carrey's other work. Director Peter Weir defined the film as a comedy-drama in the DVD special features because he believed the previous script, which was written more like a psychological thriller, was too dark. It's definitely a comedy-drama. Wildroot (talk) 22:36, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Any examples? I just don't see how this film could be funny, unless it is known for its dark humor.--Shadow6Wolf66 (talk) 13:35, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

The way the general public responds to The Truman Show can be considered at least somewhat satirical and funny, especially with the advent of reality television. I could go on and on. Basically, the first 2/3 of the movie are in the form of a comedy-drama, while the last third is tense (Truman escaping, primarily the scene with the sailboat). I'm too tired to continue on, but yes, there's a lot of morbid humor in the movie. Wildroot (talk) 22:45, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
Ah yes, I think I get i now..Thanks for clarifying.--Shadow6Wolf66 (talk) 11:08, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

I personally do not see any way this is a comedy-drama or even a drama-comedy. Perhaps at a pinch it could be a drama/black comedy. 00:07, 27 December 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.134.13.103 (talk)

These folks are engaged in heinous original research. They need to find secondary sources for The Truman Show's genre.

I grew up watching VHSes of Rocky and Bullwinkle in the 90s, and found the concept of a Bullwinkle's arcade.......confusing. It just didn't feel like a good match for a dialogue-driven show with super minimal visuals.

I see it closed 12 years ago here so that tracks.

Nowpunk is a term invented by Bruce Sterling, which he applied to contemporary fiction set in the time period (particularly in the post-Cold War 1990s to the present) in which the fiction is being published, i.e. all contemporary fiction. Sterling used the term to describe his book The Zenith Angle, which follows the story of a hacker whose life is changed by the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Popularity

The adult interest in the show is comparable to that of The Magic Roundabout, Tiny Toon Adventures, Rocko's Modern Life, Animaniacs, Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, SpongeBob SquarePants, Yo Gabba Gabba! and Phineas and Ferb; older audiences appreciate jokes aimed at adult viewers and a sense of nostalgia for older cartoons and animated films.[11][12][13] Many of the aforementioned shows had attracted college-aged fans who, when Friendship Is Magic was airing, would be raising children of their own.[13] The show references works that older viewers would recognize, such as I Love Lucy, The Benny Hill Show, X-Men, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Diamond Dogs, The Big Lebowski, The Avengers, Star Wars and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.[12][14][15][16][17] Most of these fans are surprised by their fondness for the show. Shaun Scotellaro, operator of Equestria Daily, one of the main fan websites for the show, said, "Honestly, if someone were to have told me I'd be writing a pony blog seven months ago, I would have called them insane."[18] He commented that the spread among adults was accelerated by its presence in online gaming.[19] Mike Fahey, an editor for the gaming website Kotaku, noted that the fandom was "building friendships among a diverse group of people that otherwise might have just sat on either side of the Internet, flinging insults at each other".[20] Dr. Patrick Edwards, who performed several "Brony Studies" to survey and analyze the fandom, observed that the brony fandom is unlike most other fandoms which "aren't welcoming to people who are different", and promote the show's message of love and tolerance.[21] Further interest came from the furry community, which includes a large number of animation fans.[22] One contributor to "The Brony Study" (below), Dr. Marsha Redden said that the adult fans are "a reaction to the US having been engrossed in terrorism for past ten years" in a manner similar to the Cold War, and are "tired of being afraid, tired of angst and animosity"; the show and its fandom are outlets from those strifes.[23] She compared the brony fandom to that of the bohemian and beatniks after World War II and of the hippies after the Vietnam War.[24] In a similar vein, Amy Keating Rogers, one of the show's writers, believes that the fans have come to like Friendship Is Magic due to "so much cynicism and negativity out there in so many [other] shows" while the show "has such a positive message" that counters this.[25]

Unconfirmed (later confirmed)[26] leaks of information from Hasbro stated that the show's ninth season, which premiered in 2019, would be the last for the "G4" (Generation 4) ponies with a move towards a fifth generation ("G5"). Equestria Daily saw significant drop-off in readership in the preceding years with most readers primarily discussing new episodes rather than other fan content. The fandom's largest convention BronyCon, had seen its peak attendee numbers drop from 10,000 to under 6,000 in 2018 and decided that it would be appropriate to end the convention after a four-day event in 2019. Despite this, it is currently unexpected that the fandom will die out but will instead remain steady in the future.[27][28]

Violence and pornography

Some media have been critical of the adult-oriented material created by fans. In some cases, these videos may appear in Internet searches that children may perform while looking for online copies of the program or while searching for images of characters from the show, forcing parents to have to discuss pornography and sex with their children.[193] One parody series, drawn by animator Max Gilardi in the style of John Kricfalusi, places the characters in explicit adult situations and was described by the web site io9 as "disgusting ... and most certainly NSFW".[24][194][195] Fans acknowledge that such material is generated by a subset of the group, but consider it "an unavoidable part of any online fandom", as described by TV Guide's Sadie Gennis, and do not worry about this facet.[38]

....


Notable fans


Musician Andrew W.K. has stated he associated directly with the party-centric, hyperactive character of Pinkie Pie.

The musician Andrew W.K. said that he strongly identifies with the overenthusiastic character of Pinkie Pie.[233] He said, "She's another creature, much like I am in this world, who is doing everything she can to have fun," and that he feels inspired by the character spreading excitement and joy to others.[234] He hosted a panel called "What Would Pinkie Pie Do?" at the Canterlot Gardens convention in September 2012, and described it as "the most intense experience of [his] life".[61][235][236]

Lena Hall, a Broadway actress and singer, stated she watches the show as it makes her feel "super happy" and appreciates the lessons the show teaches, and considers herself a "Pegasister".[237] In winning the 2014 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical, Hall ended her acceptance speech mentioning the television show's subtitle, "Friendship Is Magic".[238][239] Over four months after her shout-out at the Tonys, Hall announced on her Twitter that she would be a guest star in the show's fifth season,[240][241] and soon appeared in the episode "The Mane Attraction" as Coloratura/Rara.[242] Upon the episode's premiere, Hall live streamed her reaction to the episode with her niece on Periscope and letting viewers ask questions during the commercial breaks, she went into detail about her experiences behind the scenes of the production of the episode and her history with the show itself, admitting to binge-watching the first three seasons of the show when she first started to watch it.[243]

After a call-out to bronies on Twitter by fellow professional wrestler Dolph Ziggler, Xavier Woods publicly identified as a brony on March 2015.[244][245] Woods and his fellow members of The New Day, a wrestling stable who were WWE Raw Tag Team Champions at the time (and would go on to become the longest reigning team in WWE history), subsequently added unicorn imagery as a part of their gimmick, even claiming to possess "unicorn magic" to help them in their matches.[246][247] They also named one of their signature moves the Unicorn Stampede.[248][249][250][251]

Actor Billy Bob Thornton admitted to watching the show during a 2016 interview with GQ.[252] He and his daughter Bella used to watch My Little Pony, which she eventually grew out of, and when searching for the series to watch again, came across Friendship Is Magic and started watching it with her. He also liked the show's positive messages about how the world works, pointing to "The Cutie Map" as an example.[253] On an episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, Thornton also claimed that while his daughter's favorite character is Twilight Sparkle, his favorites were Fluttershy (who he said was his favorite because "she talks like Marilyn Monroe") and Rainbow Dash.[254]

William Shatner confirmed himself to be a Brony through his personal Twitter, and had been a guest star in the show's seventh season's episode "The Perfect Pear", along with Felicia Day, who appeared in the very same episode.[255][256]
